Furan and its derivatives are important compounds in industrial applications, biological activity, bio-fuels food and nutrition. The ground-state molecular geometry, and harmonic vibrational frequencies with infrared intensities and Raman activities, of furan (F) and its derivatives [2- methylfuran (MF) and 2, 5- dimethylfuran (DMF)] were computed, by using the Density Functional Theory (DFT/B3LYP) method plus the basis set cc-pVTZ. The time-dependent (TD-DFT) was performed to obtain the electronic absorption spectra. Furthermore the chemical shifts of the nuclear magnetic resonance were calculated by the Gauge-Invariant Atomic Orbital (GIAO) method. The result showed that the Furan ring bond angle C2O1C5 was lower than the 2-methylfuran and 2, 5-dimethylfuran, due to the attachment of methyl group at C2 position in 2-methylfuran, and C2, C5 positions in 2,5-dimethylfuran molecules. The vibrational spectra demonstrated that the ring C-C symmetric and asymmetric stretching vibrations, ranged between 1414- 1033 cm-1. These vibrations decreased in the following order (F > MF > DMF), while the C=C stretching vibrations decreased in the opposite order (DMF > MF > F). The UV spectra of furan and its studied derivatives in gas phase and solvent (ethanol) showed one peak. Therefore the type of transition is π→π^*. The NMR for the protons (C=CH-) of furan ring illustrated more shielding in MF than F molecule. Also in DMF molecule the protons demonstrated a high shielding, which influence by the presence of CH3 donating group.
he DFT-B3LYP method is widely used in many investigations. This method gives reasonable energies, molecular structures, vibrational
frequencies, UV-Vis, and nuclear magnetic resonance, in addition, it needs less computation resource 1.
Furan (F) and its derivatives are significant molecules, due to its high energy density, it is also considered in the exchange of fuel, plus its importance in the of biology and industries fields
2. Furan is a heterocyclic organic
compound colorless liquid, highly volatile, flammable, has low solubility in water, and low boiling point
3,4. 2- Methyl
furan (MF), and 2,5- dimethyl furan (DMF) have attracted the attention, since they have a greater volumetric energy density, lower water solubility, high boiling point, and higher octane number (2). These properties make to convert abundant renewable biomass resources into liquid fuels, which may minimize the dependence on petroleum 3, 5.
The target of the present theoretical work was to calculate the molecular optimized geometry. From the computed optimized geometrical parameters. Then the vibrational spectra results were employed to characterize the harmonic vibrational wave numbers in the ground state, and the NMR spectra. Also the electronic properties such as: the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), HOMO, and LUMO energies, plus the electronic absorption spectra for the optimized molecule were computed. All the theoretical calculations were done by
using the density functional theory DFT /B3LYP method with the cc-pVTZ (2d,2p) basis set level, for furan (F), 2- methylfuran (MF), and 2,5- dimethylfuran (DMF) molecules.
Computational Details
The DFT is a significance quantum chemical method (1) due to its high accuracy (2) consuming short time 6,7. The time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) gives a satisfactory theoretical result when compared with experiment work, for electronic absorption spectra
8. The
B3LYP with the GIAO method is one of the most common approaches for calculating the nuclear magnetic shielding tensors
9. The present calculations were performed using
the Gaussian 09 program on a windows-XP operating PC10,
11.
The molecular structure in ground state for the studied compounds was examined by the DFT with the B3LYP/ cc-pVTZ (2d, 2p) basis set, utilizing the vibrational frequencies, UV-Vis, NMR spectra. Electronic absorption spectra, vertical excitation energies, maximum absorption wavelengths (λ max), and oscillator strengths were computed by the (TD-DFT) methods. The GIAO method was employed to evaluate the nuclear magnetic shielding tensors.

Vibrational band assignments
Since Furan molecule has C2V symmetry point group, so it possesses 21 fundamental vibrations divided as 8A1 + 3A2 + 3B1 + 7B2. While the MF molecule has 30 fundamental vibrations, with point group Cs. The DMF molecule has 39 fundamental vibrations, belong to the C2V equilibrium configuration. All vibrations for the studied molecules appeared in infrared and Raman spectra, except the A2 species which presented in Raman only. The computed vibrational frequencies results with the complete analyzing for furan and its derivatives were presented in Tables 2-4.

Electronic absorption spectra
Table 5, presented the results of the UV-Visible spectra, containing the molecular orbital energies difference E = Ef– Ei (corresponds to the vertical excitation according to the Frank–Condon principle 16). Also the maximum absorption wavelength (λ max), and oscillator strength (f) based on the optimized geometry in ethanol, and gas phase with their major contributions. The calculations revealed that λ max for the three compounds belonged to transition H⤍L (with a major contribution of 70%), increased in following sequence F, MF, DMF. A bathochromic shift with hyperchromism for the UV band were noticed during the transferring from the gas to solution (in polar solvent ethanol) phase (17)].

Molecular Orbital
The frontier molecular orbital's ( ) specifies the molecule chemical stability, reactivity, optical polarizability, and chemical softness-hardness. The lower the value of indicates that these molecule is more
reactive and less stable (18, 19). The energies results with shapes of these orbitals were demonstrated in figure 2. The calculated for all molecules in gas phase were increased in the following order DMF, MF, F, and inversely proportional with λ max (as expected).

Molecular electrostatic potential (MEP)
The MEP usually illustrates the density of the charge for molecule, which affords useful information in predicting the sites for the attacks of electrophilic and nucleophilic reactions. The red, blue, green, and orange colors appear on molecular surface related to the electrostatic potential energy differences. Where the red indicates the high and
the blue indicates less attractiveness 20. Figure 3, showed the MEP maps for furan and its derivatives. The red was concentrated around the O atoms; this means that the region is higher negative. The blue color around the H atoms indicating that the region is more positive. Therefore O atom shows higher repulsion, and H higher attraction 21.

NMR spectroscopy
The NMR analysis is usually used to identify the structure of molecules. The position of the NMR signals aid to realize the proton nature (aliphatic or aromatic) adjacent to attracting or releasing electron group, or the electronic environment. The calculated NMR results for furan and its derivatives, in gas phase, and solvent (dimethyl sulfoxide DMSO) were employed to express the chemical shifts δ (ppm) [where the tetramethylsilane (TMS) compound was used as a reference], Table 6. From the computed results it can be noticed that the chemical shifts for nucleus. This difference is due to the high electronic cloud density surrounding the nucleus (because O has higher electronic negativity) 22.
The effect of substitution CH3 (electron donating group) at C2 position in MF, and the two CH3 groups at C2 and C5 positions in DMF molecules reveled:
1- The value of oxygen nucleus decreased in following manner F, MF, DMF.
2- In furan, the of C2 and C5 nucleus were equal 107.1 ppm due to the symmetry, and lower for C2 in MF (99.9 ppm). A further decreasing was noticed at C2, and C5 nucleus for DMF molecules (98.5 ppm).
3- The proton of furan ring H7 illustrated more shielding in MF than F molecule. Also the two protons H7, and H8 indicated the high shielding in DMF molecule. This related to the greater electron density around these protons.

Furan ring bond angle C2O1C5 showed small decreasing according to the following sequence F, MF, DMF, due to the presence of CH3 groups in C2, and C2, C5 positions for MF, and DMF molecules respectively. The vibrational spectra demonstrated that the ring of furan in the three molecules had several C-C symmetric and asymmetric
stretching vibrations. These vibrations decreased in the following manner F, MF, DMF, while the C=C stretching vibrations decreased in the opposite order DMF, MF, F.
The UV-Vis results revealed that the maximum absorption wavelength (λ max ) for the F and its derivatives belong to the H⤍L transition, increased in this sequence F, MF, DMF. During the transferring from the gas to solution

(polar solvent ethanol) phase, a bathochromic shift with hyperchromic showed a unique UV band for the three molecules, which means that the transition is type. The energy difference between the frontier molecular orbitals for all molecules in gas phase increased according to this order DMF, MF, F. The values were inversely proportional with the λ max. The NMR data for the proton of furan ring H7 illustrated more shielding in MF than F molecule. Also the two protons H7, and H8 demonstrated a high shielding in DMF molecule. This related to the biggest electron density surrounding these protons (the presence of CH3 donating group).
